This guidance aims to support governments in identifying and implementing
feasible, short-term actions in the land sector that simultaneously contribute to
short-term and long-term climate mitigation goals.

Specifically, this guidance aims to help governments establish the enabling
conditions needed to identify and take advantage of synergistic opportunities
in the land sector. It highlights a series of governance, technical, financial, and
institutional actions that can be taken by governments in the short-term to enable
effective implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions.

The recommendations in this guidance are organized in a series of five “building
blocks.” The key elements of each building block are presented in the Checklist
below. The guidance helps policymakers identify which common roadblocks or
challenges to effective implementation apply, and then provides a number of short-term recommendations to address each roadblock.
